What a beautiful and glorious sight. ❤️Representation matters, but so does authenticity. We love seeing so many journalists rock their natural crowns in all of its glory on and off camera.

Let’s keep defying those damaging stereotypes about , while showing up as our most authentic selves.

Remember, you are ENOUGH.

A PACKED HOUSE! Like I said in my series, , from curls to coils, kinks, braids and anything in between, we rock it all. This room was proof.

The natural hair news baes showed up and showed out! It was standing room only in the “Crown on Air” panel at the National Association of Black Journalists convention. Another reminder, that you are ENOUGH however you choose to rock your hair. Proud is an understatement.

If you see any of these ladies on your TV screen, please show them all the love!

A lot is happening this month, and we’re here for it. It’s mainly to be consistent with our content 👀(because we kind of dropped the ball on that), but it’s also minority mental health awareness month and national grilling month. A few fruits and vegetables have also garnered their own month, and we’ll tell you more about them this month, too (mostly in recipe format because we love food).

We’ll also share details about us, who we are, and what we’re about. We’ll stick to the good stuff and keep it fresh.

We hope you’ll join us, share with us, and grow with us. We can’t wait to meet you and learn more about you.

In the meantime, let us know what you’re up to this month. Are you traveling? Decorating a room? Entertaining family and friends? Starting a new business? Whatever it is, we want to celebrate with you.

Maybe we’re a little biased, but we love our Juneteenth “Freedom Day” t-shirts. We sat down with our Editorial Illustrator, Rashid Haliym-Bey, and created what we hope is a shirt that you’ll wear beyond June 19th. We take our partnerships seriously, that’s why we work with artists, designers and small business owners of color to create products, services and content that you’ll love.
When you purchase from 1865 Magazine, you’re doing more than buying a new t-shirt, you’re building a better community.
Let’s build together…and there’s nothing wrong with looking good while we do it.

Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 If you're lucky enough to get the day off, we hope you enjoy it outdoors with friends and family. ☀️

If you're grilling, tag us in your photos! 🍔

And if you need a few last minute grilling tips, we've got you covered..

▪️Of course, start with a clean grill - don't want leftover flavors mixing in with the food you cook today!
▪️Don't flip the food too often - it's actually better to only flip once; yes, even if it's stuck! It'll unstick when it's ready to flip.
▪️Don't squish your meat - you'll push the juicy flavor right out of it.
▪️And lastly, let all meat rest - give it 5-15 minutes (depending on the size) to rest and redistribute the juices before serving.

▫️Room Refresh: Throw Pillows▫️

An easy and affordable way to quickly refresh your space is by adding throw pillows, to couches, beds, and other sitting areas. 🛋

DIY like a pro with a few simple tips:

Start with a color palette as the base of your design - neutrals, pastel, bold and bright - the choice is yours!

When mixing patterns, make sure to vary in size and type.

Don't be afraid to add in texture by mixing different kinds of materials - we love a pillow with tassels!

And if you want to create a unique look, vary the size and shape of the pillows - a lumbar pillow looks great next to a larger square or two.

Tag us in your room refresh creations! We'd love to see your style 💫
